YA Book Cover Photoshoot

[depolarized]

UPDATE: Log is up, set for IC Weekend. 

IC SIGNUPS: Maya will be releasing the news via her social media accounts, probably generating a buzz among fans, especially locally, and there will be some small newspaper ads. Alternatively, feel free to TALK TO MAYA about the shoot she mentioned in her network post! Contact the mun if you'd like to handwave it. 

PAYMENT/INCENTIVES: There will be a little bit of money (approx $15/hr? idk) in it for participants, courtesy of Maya's publishing house.

  Heya StE! 

unwakingwaters  , our resident YA Fantasy author, is looking to revamp the book covers of her 5-part series, the Starheart Saga, loosely based on the story of KH: Birth by Sleep.  Details of the story and cast can be found at her post here. So naturally, being a photographer, Riku is doing the job.

if you want to and your character can meet the criteria, please let us know if you'd like to be involved in the log. :D

Plotwise, the shoots take place in a cathedral and/or a beach and will most likely feature swords/battle poses and other fantasy things, which may be echo triggery for characters. Since this is a fantasy book, I think we can assume forests/lagoons, as well. xD

Nerida - middle eastern (or close) young woman, 18-20s 
Kun - Asian young man 18-20s, well-muscled,  will probably wear a hakama 
Master Yaotl - older man, black hair, pale/sallow skin.
Prince Lagos - - Can be anyone really, but I suppose male? Would need a costume or digital enhancement. 
Master Agni - Older man, Indian (or close) 

Other support/backstage positions welcome. I have no idea but maybe a costumer/makeup artist? 

Currently:
Maya/Aqua - Writer
Riku + Van, maybe Hajime - Photographer and Assistant
Vanessa -- assistant/gopher? >.> Unconfirmed, might still be in clinic
Aquaman/Arthur - Prince Lagos
Ciel/Roxas + VBen - Zephyr + 1
Ravi - Master Agni
Logan Williamson - Master Yaotl
Kun - Hajime2? need muscle check
Hugo - Costumer? Unconfirmed

If nobody is interested or nobody can be found, anyone else needed will be played by NPCs. xD;

The log will probably be freestyle kinda thing, you can start threads to mingle besides the overall photoshoot. c:

Shou can help out with the modeling poses and stuff, maybe lend out pieces of his cosplay stuff at as needed sort of thing, and even fill in for any character that he can fill in as. Since he can be either femmed up or made more manly.

......Trying to imagine Shou as a middle eastern girl.

Cosplay stuff/costumes might be welcome and maybe he can direct. :oa I was initially going to make Riku do it but he can tag-a-long as consultant + he's a fan too right?

[ursoreckless]

I'm on my phone ATM or I would be spamming you with pictures of Gackt dressed up way too prettily~ but yes! He can help out with the modeling angle since he has some experiences with it. He also might get an echo about filming near the ocean especially if they do a cheesy all the cast crowd close together for a cheesy smile-off picture.

BUT MIDDLE EASTERN. YOUR PRETTY WHITE SKIN.

Aw that works! And since you mentioned it way before, Riku miiiiight wear a tank top or just go shirtless at some point at the beach so he can see the wing tattoo if he hasn't yet from the clinic episode. Not sure if it'd cause an echo it being rather different tho. :oa

[ursoreckless]

He's actually rather tanned in Moon Child's second half but yeah. His skin is rather white.

It might cause him to ponder things because it is a wing tattoo but no echoes since the difference is BIG.

Dang, well if all else fails, let's all just have a wet tshirt contest.

[ursoreckless]

Well. that would be interesting :3

[depolarized]

Shou you are now bestowed with the unholy order to start this. Also get someone to douse everyone in seawater. Just be sure- you can do anything you want to Riku, but touch his camera and SSHK!

[ursoreckless]

to get everyone wet and/or tip them into the ocean? WELL WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?

[depolarized]

INDEED, WHAT? The log is up. You have no excuses. None. :|
